Have you tried a trailing i?
irb(main):001:0> ‘Ruby’ =~ /^ruby$/i
0
irb(main):002:0> ‘Ruby’ =~ /^ruby$/
nil
If you want to be more verbose then look at
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_regexp.html#Regexp.new e.g.
irb(main):003:0> ‘Ruby’ =~ Regexp.new(‘ruby’, Regexp::IGNORECASE)
0
Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi folks, can’t seem to find a straight answer to this.
I expected to find something like “String.compareNoCase” with no luck. I’m
assuming I don’t need to use either downcase explicitly or that horrid
global, $=, to achive the same result ?
